Vaagdhara

Vaagdhara Voluntary Association of Agricultural General Development Health and Reconstruction Alliance

VAAGDHARA is non-government organization, registered under The Societies Registration Act, 1958, and FCRA. VAAGDHARA was formed in 1986-87 as a result of efforts of a number of individuals including health professionals, academics, farmers, and social workers. The immediate goal was to provide relief to farmers who have become victims of successive droughts in the Ghatol Tehsil of Banswara region.

Starting with delivery of agriculture inputs such as seed and fertilizer distribution for 15 farm families, the scope and work area of VAAGDHARA has expanded exponentially. With the aim of augmenting livelihood sources and options through improving traditional agricultural practices among the tribal population and other marginalized groups, the organization has undertaken a variety of activities. The organization, at a broader level, has always strived for the upliftment of tribal community through Policy advocacy, realization of child rights, empowering women, and proofing the food security net of the community through their livelihood enhancement.

On this special day of Gandhi Jayanti and Lal Bahadur Jayanti, Vaagdhara honors the timeless legacy of Mahatma Gandhi and Lal Bahadur Shastri—champions of Swaraj, self-reliance, and inclusive development. Guided by Gandhian philosophy, Vaagdhara has been steadfast in empowering marginalized tribal communities across Rajasthan, Gujarat, and Madhya Pradesh for over two decades.

True Swaraj is not just political freedom but the empowerment of our people, especially farmers, women, and children, to take charge of their destiny. Vaagdhara’s initiatives in sustainable farming, women’s leadership, child education, and governance echo the values of self-reliance, dignity, and justice.

We celebrate the spirit of 'Jai Jawan Jai Kisan' and reaffirm our commitment to building a resilient and equitable future where every tribal family thrives with food security, quality education, and opportunity. Let us walk together on this path of peace, non-violence, and collective progress to realize the dream of a just society.

🌿 The story of Anita Damor and the women of Amlipara is not just about farming — it is about self-reliance, ecological protection, and Swaraj. By practicing climate-resilient and natural farming, conserving traditional seeds, integrating livestock, and harnessing renewable energy, they have built resilient livelihoods that strengthen both their community and the environment.

ज्यादा बारिश – दोहरी चुनौती! 🌱💧
ज्यादा वर्षा से खेतों में जलभराव और पेयजल स्रोतों की दूषित होने की समस्या उत्पन्न हो रही है, जिससे फसल उत्पादन व स्वास्थ्य दोनों प्रभावित हो रहे हैं।

✅ फसल बचाने के उपाय:
* खेत में नालियां बनाएं व मेड़ मजबूत करें
* खेत तालाब, चेक डैम आदि से वर्षा जल संचयन करें
* पलवार (mulching) से मिट्टी की नमी बचाएं
* स्थानीय सहनशील फसलें लगाएं (मक्का, मोटा अनाज, दालें)

✅ शुद्ध पेयजल के उपाय:
* पानी को 10 मिनट उबालें या क्लोरीन डालें
* रेत/जल फिल्टर का प्रयोग करें
* जल स्रोत साफ़ रखें और ढककर रखें
* खुले या बिना जांच का पानी न पिएं

👉 आइए मिलकर करें – फसल बचाएं, स्वास्थ्य बचाएं, पानी बचाएं 🌿💦

"बाल स्वराज समूह – बच्चों से बच्चों तक, गांव से समाज तक "

राजस्थान, मध्यप्रदेश और गुजरात के 1168 गांवों में करीब 23 हज़ार बच्चे पढ़ाई के साथ-साथ गांव की समस्याओं को हल करने में सक्रिय भूमिका निभा रहे हैं। ये बच्चे अपनी बैठकों में आंगनवाड़ी, खेल मैदान और अन्य ज़रूरी सुविधाओं पर चर्चा करते हैं और फिर इन्हें ग्राम सभा व प्रशासन तक पहुँचाकर समाधान करवाते हैं।

इन्हीं में से एक है राजस्थान के मोरवनिया गांव की रवीना, जो रोज़ स्कूल से लौटने के बाद अपने साथियों के साथ बैठक करती है और बच्चों के मुद्दों को आवाज़ देती है।

इस सकारात्मक बदलाव के पीछे हैं बाल स्वराज समूह और वाग्धारा के प्रयास, जिन्होंने बच्चों को सशक्त बनाया है और उन्हें निर्णय प्रक्रिया में भागीदार बनाने की राह खोली है। ✨

Happy Independence Day! Join us in building self-reliant, climate-resilient villages.

VAAGDHARA ग्रामीण-आदिवासी समुदायों के साथ मिलकर जल संरक्षण, पोषण बाड़ी, और सीखने के अवसरों के माध्यम से अंतिम पंक्ति तक विकास पहुँचाने के लिए प्रतिबद्ध है।
